Date Formatting

Date Formatting

Guidelines for consistent date and time formatting across OneKey applications.

Critical Rule

NEVER use native JavaScript date methods:

// ❌ FORBIDDEN
date.toLocaleDateString()
date.toLocaleString()
date.toISOString()
new Intl.DateTimeFormat().format(date)

// ✅ CORRECT
import { formatDate } from '@onekeyhq/​shared/​src/​utils/​dateUtils';
formatDate(date, { hideSeconds: true });

Quick Reference

Common Patterns

Transaction History

import { formatDate } from '@onekeyhq/​shared/​src/​utils/​dateUtils';

// Hide year if current year, hide seconds
<SizableText>
  {formatDate(item.createdAt, { hideTheYear: true, hideSeconds: true })}
</​SizableText>

Custom Format

// Use format template
{formatDate(item.timestamp, { formatTemplate: 'yyyy-LL-dd HH:mm' })}

React Hook (for dynamic updates)

import useFormatDate from '@onekeyhq/​kit/​src/​hooks/​useFormatDate';

function MyComponent() {
  const { formatDate } = useFormatDate();
  return <SizableText>{formatDate(date, { hideSeconds: true })}</​SizableText>;
}

Format Options

interface IFormatDateOptions {
  hideYear?: boolean;        // Always hide year
  hideMonth?: boolean;       // Always hide month
  hideTheYear?: boolean;     // Hide year if current year
  hideTheMonth?: boolean;    // Hide month if current month
  hideTimeForever?: boolean; // Hide time portion
  hideSeconds?: boolean;     // Hide seconds (HH:mm)
  formatTemplate?: string;   // Custom date-fns format
}
